Fig. 2 a vertical longitudinal sectional viewthereof. Fig. 3 1s zin-end -elevatitm of the ferrule in which thebristles of the brush are mounted, showing the Tsalve or stopper forclosing the discharge mouth ofthe handle of the hriish.

Similar reference characters indicate corresponding parts throughout theseveral vieivs in the drawing. i

Referring to the drawings by numerals` the brush comprises a hollowhandle 5 forining a liquid soap container which is constructed fromglass, formed at one end lwith an ex'ternall)Y threaded neck (i and afiat opposite closed end the neck G being detachahlv engaged in aferrule S having threaded und portions 9 and 1()`r the portion 9 beingengaged vvith the threaded neck G while the opposite end portion 10 hasengaged therein a bristle fixed the inner ends of the brush bristles 12.Arranged Within the ierrule S and resting upon the neck (l of the handle5 is a conical shaped cap 13 `formed with a contracted iii- .ivardlvtapering valve seat 11 for receiving a resilient. valve or cork which isfixed centrally-uponthe thiinble 11, the cap heing fastened on theneck't in any suitable manner.
